I'm guessing you mean transmission fluid poured out? That would certainly explain why it won't move. The most common leak point for older automatic transmission cars are the transmission cooler lines. They run from the radiator to the transmission (the cooler is built into the radiator) and they are made of steel so they are prone to rust. I would start looking there. The other leak points would be the lower pan, axle seals, and where the case bolts together. Take a look at the radiator and you should see some small steel lines bolted to the radiator. Follow them and look for heavy rust that is wet with fluid.

When NOT to change your transmission oil.
This is from our transmission shop and many others like us: If you have not religiously changed your automatic transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, STOP - DO NOT Change the fluid or filter, not only is it a waste of money, but the old fluid has 'particles in suspension' (clutch disc fibers), and when you replace the fluid you are removing those particles, of which, the clutch discs now need for internal engagement (when fluid is not changed regularly). This supporting fact comes from many reputable transmission shops (including ours), that have found out throughout the years that: "If you DO change the fluid on high mileage automatic transmissions that have NOT had transmission oil changes on a regular interval as described by the OEM's,(Original Engine Manufacturers) suggestion; transmission FAILURE will result within 1 to 6 MONTHS of further use." Save money and heed this warning!!

Where do you pour transmission fluid in for 1998 Chevy Blazer
There's a red handled dip stick located on the rear of passenger's side of the engine, this is the place you put in the fluid and check the level. A small long necked funnel helps, be carful not to overfill it as doing so may cause a major leak from over pressurization.

Locate where to pour transmission fluid
DO NOT pour transmission fluid into this transmission. This is a sealed transmission and should ONLY be serviced by a qualified Jaguar Specialist. It uses VERY specific and expensive transmission fluid, and if the wrong fluid is used, it will fail shortly. This will end up costing thousands of dollars. If you want to have a local Transmission Service Center do the work, be sure to confirm they know how to deal with the Jaguar.

I know, because I own a 1999 XJR and have already looked into this.

I've heard quotes for changing the fluid range from $300 - $800. A bit ridiculous if you ask me, but a mistake will cost dearly. I've heard Transmissions for these run from $2000 - $6000, depending on who you ask. Jaguar will not even rebuild them, so you would need to find a qualified Jaguar Transmission Shop.

Transmission Fluid. Pontiac G6. 2006
The trannsmission is a sealed unit and there is no dipstick. Check to see if you have a leak. More than likely it sounds like your low on fluid at least a 1/2 to a whole quart. Since these are sealed units it should be taken to the dealership to have looked at. If there is not any leaks then I would add 1/2 qt of tranny fluid and try driving so see if it helped. If it helped a little but the same problems are still there add another 1/2 qt. If it doesnt solve the problem then your tranny needs to be looked at.

Rpm overspeed
have the transmission checked out,

quote http://www.aa1car.com/library/2002/bf90222.htm

One of the most common complaints with automatics is fluid leaks. Fluid can leak out of the driveshaft seals, the input shaft seal, the transmission pan gasket, the torque converter or the ATF cooler and line connections. If the fluid level gets low, the transmission may be slow to engage when it is shifted into drive. Gear shifts may be sloppy or delayed, or the transmission may slip between shifts
